PRESIDENT CRETY'S RESIGNATION

President Grcvy's futile defiance OF the
French Parliament has ended i'll an ignomlnlouS
surrender. Every Republican leader whom he
summoned to the Elyscc advised him TO resign
MS Office The groups cOncurrcd in demand
ng his retirement. Not even the Imc-SciVmg'
mediocre pol tician could be lurcd from his
obscurity by the offer Of a Premiership. which
could last only fortnight. The President,
iftcr pleading pitcously for delay finally came
ia his senses and announced his determination
to abandon his office. He will form Ministry
md then send his resignation to the Chambers.
Ministers appointed in these circumstances
resemble pal-bcarcrs. They will have charge
Of a political funeral, and when their work II
done may expect to retire ut the convenience
Of the Chambers and The next President. Then
appointment is, however necessary, since The
Constitution provides for the transfer Of ex-
ecutiye power to the Council of Ministers when
ever the Presidential Office is vacant. II NJ.
Grcyy were to resign his Office before a Ministry
could be organized anarchy might result since
there would cease TO be any form OF executive
Government and the Chambers might be unabl
or unwilling to elect new President. NJ
Grcyy is acting in compliance with Article VII
Of the Constitution, which PROVIDES thal III
case Of vacancy in the Presidency by death Of
for anv other cause the two Chambers, reunited
as National Assembly, shall proceed lmmcdl-
ate]y TO the election Of a President ; and III the
interval the Council Of Ministers shall be IN
vested with executive powers"
1t is probable that the retiring President
will receive more sympathy in his political ms
fortunes than he merits. While ii is true that
he has earned the reputation Of being states
man Of irreproachabe character and purity OF
motives, it must also be admitted that he has
donc much to dishonor his Office and TO degrade
The standards of Kcpublcanism by encouraging
ncpotism and condoning the scandalous conduct
Of his son-in-aw. Superficial observers may
consider it most unjust that "A statesman whose
own integrity has never been challenged Shout
pe the vicarious sacrifice Of stock Jobbing
and vcnai relative like NJ. Wilson. They forget
that NJ Wilson has been the Presidents per-
sonal representative in Parliament. lie has
been a political ntrigucr for many years. lie
mas formed Ministries and overturned them al
pleasure. He has lived in the Elysec and been
the recognized leader for NJ. Crews forces

The expiration of Senator Riddlcbcrgcrs term
is some distance in the future yet. but the qdcs-
ton of his successor is already in process OF
settlement so far as talk and speculation can
settle anything. If the Democratic machine
has it's wav. Congressman Barbour will get the
promotion he has been seeking, and which he
did not get when Daniels was elected to succeed
Malone. Barbours chief rival IS Governor
Ice. who is popular and has all the prestige
that the name of Robert E. Lee carries. The
chances seem to be with Barbour. When Vr-
ginia is again represented in the Senate by two
Democrats that will not make it Democratic
State if an honest count can be had.
